Wii Sports dominates games BAFTAs

Last night saw the first British Academy Video Games Awards take place at London's Battersea Evolution, and it was Nintendo's Wii launch title Wii Sports that stole the show, winning six of the thirteen possible awards on offer.

Nintendo's title did not capture the coveted Best Game title, however, with 2K Games' Bioshock swooping in to win.

In addition, the show climaxed with development legend and Sim City creator Will Wright scooping the highest accolade the Academy can offer – The Fellowship.

Hilary Bevan Jones, chairman of the Academy, stated: The Academy believes video games have limitless potential to enlighten as well as entertain and our role is to encourage creative excellence in the field, for the benefit of a rapidly growing audience.”
